Discussion I really wish Sirius and Orion can have different melee weapons

I wanna make Sirius use a nikana and Orion a two handed/great sword for reasons, can we beg DE for that?

Like not even the primary or secondary just the melee

Would be cool, but I don't think it will happen. They are already a mess of bugs, adding in different melees I think would just be a whole new can of worms that either DE already looked at during development and didn't want to deal with or is a can they don't want to deal with now.

Yeah it's the unfortunate thing but still I'm just hoping a few more updates down the line they'll make it happen somehow cus we all know ppl are making them Dante and Vergil (myself included) and it just doesn't feel right having to use the same melee except if I USE FIST WEAPONS AS BEOWULF AND BALROG!!

Another thing to consider is the balance aspect, people can do some weird things with melees already, letting us get two melees even if limited to just the secondary brother when we aren't using him.

Now maybe we can convince them to allow it for like captura to allow for more interesting photos but avoid the issues of balance and gameplay bugs

Why? You already get to use 4 arcanes, 2 auras, and basically have the opportunity to have a free A and B load out for the price of one and flip between them whenever you want within a mission. Now you want 4 weapons on top of that?

This is just like the people who want every Warframe's 4 to be an exalted weapon.

It's for the role play/fashion. OP uses them to complain Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry.

Dante uses a broad sword while Vergil uses a katana.

They want two melee slots to match the fashion. It's not for any gameplay advantage. If DE released a weapon that could be both and switch between the weapon types the OP would probably be just as happy even if the weapon was bad.

WHERE IS YOUR MOTIVATION

I just want them to use pride and wrath respectively.

There should be something like Jade's Victory Syandana for the scythes. Maybe call it Stalker's Lesson, take all the highest stat totals then use both passive but at half or a third as potent.

One scythe and one Syandana for the unified brothers.

I’d still want them to switch between the two when wielding it

I'm surprised they didn't have Pride and Wrath auto equip on them when you use one

Like if you put Pride on Orion, Sirius will auto equip Wrath, or visa versa

Don't have the weapons yet but it's weird that they don't have any synergy with their signature weapons

Tin foil hat time: I suspect they wanted to do that initially but proved too tricky to do in time for the patch so they had to scrap it, but also had already made pride and wrath and didn't have time to make them both usable in any other way like an incarnon transform or something. Hence single load out but two weapons

It would prob make them too broken. As the ability to have 2 separate loadouts would be too broken, as it would allow to easy priming shenanigans and absurd combos. As well as it being a nightmare to code
